Chapter Eight: teamwork

The next morning, Sasuke awoke to the sound of soft purrs and birds chirping.  Sasuke moved his wings as he tried to move his body only to find Naruto clinging to him as he slept.  Naruto's head laid next to Sasuke's chestf.  His arms wrapped around the Tengu's waist as their legs laid intertwined.  Naruot's twin tails and fox ears lightly twitched in his sleep. Sasuke couldn't help but to smile at the newly formed mate mark that sat on the hollow of Naruto's neck.  Sasuke  could feel their bond with each other was a lot stronger now.

"Naruto.....  Wake up." Sasuke whispered into the Kitsune's ears.  Naruto let out a long yawn as he let go of Sasuke to rub the sleep out of his eyes.  "Good morning my Kitsune." Sasuke stated as he kissed Naruot on the forehead.

"Good morning Sasuke." Naruto replied as he pealed himself away from his mate.

"How are you feeling?  I didn't hurt you too much last night?"

"I feel fine Sasuke as you know that I always heal fast.  And no...... you didn't hurt me.  Yesterday was amazing." Naruto replied nuzzling into Sasuke's chest.  Sasuke smiled as he moved Naruto before he got up out of the nest area to head over to the showers.

"Come on, let's get cleaned up.  Then we will have breakfast before heading to school." 

As the two showered and got dressed, Kurama reached out mentally telling Sasuke that now he would be able to hear not only him but Naruto mentally.  Sasuke could also mentally project himself into Naruto's mindscape without having to rely on his Sharingan.  And since Naruto has gained his second tail, his powers had increased a little.  Naruto would have to train a bit to get used to his power increase.  The two had breakfast with Itachi as he offered to help Naruto with whatever training he needed.  Most demons never do find their mates as both Sasuke and Naruto were lucky to find each other as young as they did.  

"Just remember that whenever Naruto's heat hits, you will have to be careful not to get him pregnant as you are both too young to have kits just yet."

"We know Itachi as we will see you after school once we meet our team captain." Sasuke stated as both he and Naruto left the house heading for the school.  Both wore their headplates proudly.  When Naruto entered the classroom, most of the students where surprised to see the Kitsune.

"Naruto......!  You made it!" Kiba exclaimed as he hugged the fox.  Sasuke growled at the wolf.  He knew that the wolf was nothing more than a friend but, at times Sasuke couldn't help it.  It was part of his alpha nature to be protective of his mate.  Kibs released Naruto from his grasp when he saw the mate mark.  "So that's why Sasuke left in a hurry.  Congratulations." 

"Thanks Kiba." Naruto replied.  Iruka came in telling everyone to take their seats.

"Today I am happy to announce the rookie and kunoichi of this year.  This years kunoichi is Sakura Haruno."  A girl with pink hair and a wide forehead held her fingers up in a victory sign.  "As for this years rookie, he surprised most overcoming the odds that were stacked against him.  Congratulations to Naruto Uzumaki as he is this years rookie."  The class erupted saying that it was impossible.  That is should be Sasuke.  They claimed that somehow Naruto cheated.  A large snarl erupted shutting everyone up.  Both Sasuke and Kiba stood up as their demonic aurora flared out.  Both the Tengu and Ookami knew how hard Naruto trained and studied.  There was no possible way that Naruto could have even cheated during the exams.  "Enough!" yelled out Iruka.  "Naruto didn't cheat as I had an Anbu over see the exams to make certain that no one cheated.  Now if any one has a problem, then they can turn in their headbands.  On the battlefield, you can't let personal emotions judge your decisions.  You will have to fight along with people and demons that you may not like."  snapped Iruka.  Some of the students turned in their headbands leaving the classroom as both Sasuke and Kiba powered down their demonic aurora and sat back down.  Iruka took a marker crossing out their names as they left.  "Now I will announce the teams so please listen carefully for your name."  The first couple of teams went by quickly.  "Team seven......  Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno......." Sakura flashed a victory sign to the other students smiling  proudly that she was on his team.  "And Naruto Uzumaki."  Sakura sceamed out "NO!" causing those with sensitive and heightened hearing to flinch at how loud Sakura's voice was.  "Team Eight......  Shino Aburame, Kiba Inuzuka, and Hinta Hyuga.  Team nine is still active so Team ten.......  Choji Akamichi, Shikamaru Nara, and Ino Yamanaka.  Your sensei's shall be by to pick you up.  I look forward to seeing great things from you all as you go about becoming ninja of the leaf." Iruka stated before leaving the classroom.
